The Yin-Yang Art of the Early Yuan Dynasty

Chapter 19
Among the dozen or so children, Er Gouzi is the most familiar with Fan Jin. The reason why Fan Jin knew him was because Fan Jin often went to Er Gouzi’s house for dinner when he was young. At that time, Er Gouzi was still young, and Fan Jin often helped him. Bring two dogs.

Ergouzi was a little older, and Fan Jin took the place of the teacher to teach Ergouzi how to read and write characters.However, Er Gouzi likes to lead a group of children jumping up and down, and has no interest in reading.

Er Gouzi disobeyed his parents' discipline since he was a child, and often led a few little kids in the village into fights with some village tyrants from neighboring villages, which caused Er Gouzi's parents a lot of headaches.

At the beginning, Er Gouzi often suffers, and his face and body are often injured, and his nose and face are often bruised and swollen by those bullies.

Whenever he was injured, Er Gouzi dared not go home, and lied that he was studying at Fan Jin's home.Er Gouzi dared to go home when his injury was almost healed.With Fan Jin playing cover, Er Gouzi was spared a lot of beatings when he went home.

Er Gouzi's parents were born farmers, and they have been busy all their lives. The family has no worries about food and clothing, but they have little savings.In the generation of Ergouzi, they hope that Ergouzi can read some books and get a good reputation in the future.

On the border of the Song Dynasty, monsters came to harass them from time to time.There are very few who can afford to worry about food and clothing like Er Gouzi's parents, how can I have spare money for Er Gouzi to study.

Fan Jin spends most of his time at Er Gouzi's house. Whenever Er Gouzi comes to his house, Fan Jin will take the opportunity to teach him some knowledge. If Er Gouzi doesn't listen, Fan Jin threatens to let him go home immediately.Er Gouzi had no choice but to agree.

Later, Er Gouzi gained prestige in the village, and when encountering injustice, more people in the village asked him for help.Only the other children dared to follow him openly.From then on, Er Gouzi's parents cared less.

However, Fan Jin never gave up on him.As long as you seize the opportunity, teach Er Gouzi a lesson.Er Gouzi is not very interested in reading, and when he hears those words, he wants to sleep.

Fan Jin has a short mouth, so he started to teach Er Gouzi how to read, and when Er Gouzi knew more characters, he began to make him recite some articles.Regardless of whether Er Gouzi understands it or not, Fan Jin just lets Er Gouzi memorize it. I believe that if we persist for a long time, there will always be changes.

When Fan Jin went to Beijing to rush for the exam, Er Gouzi was already 14 years old, and he was no longer short.When he came back again, Er Gouzi had grown a lot taller and his appearance had changed a lot.Fan Jin almost didn't recognize him at first.

"You guys are not ashamed, a dozen of you bullied a child, and you still don't get out." Fan Jin said angrily.

Usually, Er Gouzi is used to being arrogant and domineering.But in front of Fan Jin, Er Gouzi didn't dare to make mistakes.Fan Jin watched him grow up, and Er Gouzi always respected him as a teacher and dared not disrespect him in the slightest.

Er Gouzi waved his hand to the back, and the children surrounding the little mud boy took a step back one after another, so that Fan Jin could see the situation inside clearly.

"Mr. Fan, don't be angry, we also have something to hide. This girl came to our village three years ago, but she just refused to leave. When she was hungry, she went to various households to steal food." Ergou said indignantly.

"Steal it, steal it. A little girl can eat as much as she can, and a bowl of rice can fill her up." Fan Jin glanced at the little girl in the corner and said.

If Er Gouzi hadn't said it, Fan Jin really wouldn't have known that the mud child behind him was a girl.Fan Jin loved cleaning since he was a child, and when he saw such a dirty child, he became obsessive-compulsive. If it wasn't for the little girl's status, Fan Jin really wanted to go up and wash her clean.

Er Gouzi sighed and said: "Mr. Fan, you are right. You know in our village that no matter whose family's children have no food, they will help them out, and they will not just watch others starve. "

Fan Jin nodded, what Er Gouzi said was indeed the truth.It was like this when I was young.Thanks to the charity from the villagers, he did not go hungry.

Er Gouzi became more and more angry as he spoke, his voice gradually increased, and at the end he felt a little howling.The little girl behind her didn't seem to hear it, she held the chicken leg in her hand and chewed it.

Er Gouzi swallowed a mouthful of spittle and continued: "We poor people don't have any good things. If you steal it, you steal it. After you steal it, you eat it. Don't waste it. This little girl is very tricky. It's delicious, take two bites and throw it away."

Fan Jin has suffered and knows that food is hard to come by.Such a waste of food, even Fan Jin can't help but lose his temper.Er Gouzi has been thinking about the villagers since he was a child. When he met such an unreasonable little girl, Er Gouzi was very angry, so he came to this place to teach him a lesson.

The village here is very close to the misty forest, and the monsters there would come out from time to time to roll around in the grain fields, and the annual harvest would basically be gone.

The life of the villagers is not very rich, and some are still struggling.However, the villagers here are very simple and have no bad intentions. Even though the little girl has been tossing around in the village, no adult has come out to target the little girl.

Er Gouzi was young and energetic, and couldn't stand it anymore, so he gathered a group of children to frighten the little girl.Who knows, this little girl doesn't like this at all, she would rather be beaten than protect the stolen food.

Fan Jin had no choice but to smooth things over and told Er Gouzi not to be as knowledgeable as her.In Fan Jin's eyes, the little girl in the corner is still young, only two or three years old.At this age, it is good to be able to feed yourself, how can I know so much.

With Fan Jin's rescue, Er Gouzi no longer made it difficult for the little girl, and told the other children to disperse, and stayed behind to help Fan Jinqing clean up the weeds in the house.

It has been four years since Fan Jin rushed to take the exam last time, and there is no news from Fan Jin. Er Gouzi thought that Fan Jin would not come back after being a high-ranking official.

"Mr. Fan, four years have passed, where have you been? I haven't seen you bring a letter back, as if the world has disappeared." Er Gouzi asked with a smile while weeding.

"Hey, it's hard to explain. This time I failed again. Go out for a walk and see the colorful world outside." Fan Jin found an excuse to prevaricate.

"Wow, really? Is the outside world beautiful?" Er Gouzi asked enviously.

"Of course, it's very beautiful." Fan Jin was afraid of revealing his secrets, so he recounted the spiritual world that Fan Tong had told him.

Er Gouzi was fascinated by listening, and looked at Fan Jin obsessively, his eyes were full of envy.

Fan Jin didn't dare to tell Er Gouzi the truth, this would reach the ears of the secret investigation department.This group of flies can't tell, and they will come to the door again.At that time, the villagers were hurt, and Fan Jin felt very sorry.

Fan Jin chatted with Er Gouzi for a while, and then got involved with the domestic situation of Song Dynasty.It's been four years since Fan Jin left. Fan Jin still wants to know exactly where the situation in the Song Dynasty has gone before making arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Er Gouzi didn't know at all when he asked, and didn't know at all.All I know is that a year ago, a prince came to the village and said that there was a way to completely solve the demon problem, but he still hasn't left.

According to Er Gouzi's description, this prince has no airs and lives with the people in the city, not like a prince who grew up in the palace.

If there are good things, the prince is not stingy, and distributes all the things to the folks in the village.The villagers have benefited a lot this year, and because there are no monsters to harass them, the surplus food of the villagers has increased.

Ergouzi liked to dance with knives and guns since he was a child, but he didn't have much interest in the current situation.To be praised by Er Gouzi shows that the prince has a very good reputation here.

As for whether it is for the villagers sincerely, Fan Jin will know in a while.As long as he treats the villagers in the village well, Fan Jin doesn't mind dealing with him.

There are as many as nine princes in the Song Dynasty, and the fourth prince has the best reputation among them.If it was this prince, Fan Jin could let go of Fan Tong's request that he not contact the royal family, and deal with this prince.

Fan Jin is just guessing, whether it is the fourth prince or not, he will not know until he meets him.As for the situation in the Song Dynasty, Er Gouzi couldn't explain why for a while, so Fan Jin could only figure it out by himself.

The two chatted enthusiastically in the yard. The mud boy had finished eating what he had in his hands. He walked up to Fan Jin anxiously and looked at Fan Jin pitifully.

The little girl didn't speak, her eyes filled with tears.This stumped Fan Jin, not knowing what to do.After all, she looks very small, and punishing her is not an option.

The two looked at each other for a long time, the little girl pulled out another chicken leg out of nowhere, carefully placed the chicken leg in front of Fan Jin's eyes, and said childishly, "Brother, eat the chicken leg."

Fan Jin didn't answer, nor did he take the chicken leg that the little girl handed over.The little girl thought that Fan Jin wanted to eat it, so she directly handed the chicken leg to Fan Jin's mouth, and forced it into Fan Jin's mouth.

Fan Jin felt dizzy for a while, he was in his thirties, and he was already in his thirties, and now he was called brother by a kid of a few years old, he couldn't say it was strange.

"Brother, are you hungry? If you're hungry, you have to eat. This chicken drumstick is delicious. I don't even want to eat it. I just give it to my brother, okay?" The little girl looked at Fan Jin and said timidly.

Fan Jin had black lines on his face, and originally wanted to put on an old gentleman's face and educate her to get her out of the habit of stealing.

As a result, Fan Jin changed his mind when the words came to his lips.Seeing such a cute little girl, Fan Jin wanted to learn from the old gentleman and take Duoduo in.

In Fan Jin's view, the little girl is not serious by nature, and she only expressed some problems, which caused others to misunderstand.

"My brother is not hungry, but my brother is full. From now on, if my little sister wants to eat, just tell my brother, okay? If my brother wants it for you, they will stop scolding you." Fan Jin saw that the little girl was still naive, Can only be guided slowly.

Looking at the cute little girl, Fan Jin was moved with compassion.Now, the little girl is still young, so give her a correct concept and a chance to correct it.When you grow up, the habit has been formed, and there is no chance to change it.

Looking at the little girl, Fan Jin remembered his childhood.When his parents left, it was the villagers who were selfless and took him in.

When I was sick, the high fever persisted, so Er Gouzi's father braved the heavy rain to go to the mountains to collect medicinal materials.Unfortunately, the road on the mountain was slippery, and Er Gouzi's father fell and couldn't straighten his back.

In order to make Fan Jin feel better as soon as possible, Er Gouzi's father endured the pain and crawled around on the ground to make Fan Jin decoction.

All of this was vivid in his memory, and Fan Jin couldn't help but have some rosy eyes.The villagers here are kind-hearted and simple.Living in such an environment since childhood, Fan Jin's character has been greatly influenced by them.

The kind-hearted Fan Jin felt a sense of sympathy when he saw the little girl.The little girl is so young, Fan Jin still hopes that he can be well taken care of, so that this kind of love can continue to be passed on.

Fan Jinxiu's time is short, and he is still far away from the realm of no confusion.At this moment, Fan Jin seemed to have a kind of understanding in his heart.As for what?Fan Jin felt very far away again, without a clue.

"Brother, why are you crying?" The little girl had a chicken leg in her mouth.Two dirty little hands wiped Fan Jin's tears in a panic, and said puzzledly.

With the efforts of the little girl, the tears on Fan Jin's face were wiped clean.But that dirty little hand left dozens of dark marks on Fan Jin's face.Fan Jin's small white face instantly turned into a painted face.

"Brother, don't cry. I promise you that I won't steal from them anymore. This chicken leg is not tasty at all. I won't eat it in the future." The little girl said timidly like a child who has done something wrong.

There was obvious reluctance in the little girl's tone.However, being cried by Fan Jin made the little girl panic.How did the little girl know that Fan Jin couldn't help crying because he just thought of the past and was touched by the scene.

"That's good, you're such a good boy. Then tell your brother, what's your name and where do you live? Will my brother take you home?" Fan Jin asked kindly, smiling through tears.

"Dodo." The little girl said timidly.

Next, Fan Jin asked many questions, but Dodo didn't know.No matter how Fan Jin guides her, Dodo just shakes her head.Except for this name, she doesn't remember anything about Dodo, as if she has lost her memory.

Fan Jin patted her head affectionately, and led Duo Duo into the house together.

The house is very "clean", nothing.I haven't been back for four years. The furniture and daily necessities in the house have been taken away long ago, and there is not a single one left.

Er Gouzi cleaned up the yard and started to clean the room.Since no one lived there, the dust inside was extremely heavy, and it took Ergou a lot of effort to clean out a room.

However, Er Gouzi's whole body was covered with dust, his face was white, and only two black eyes were left rolling around, making Duo Duo laugh non-stop.

Three years ago, Dodo came here.Before coming here, Fan Jin's room had been vacant for a year, and all the valuables in the room had been looted by thieves.

Seeing no one, Duo Duo found some hay and made a nest, went out to find food during the day, and stayed overnight at night.Since Fan Jin didn't hear from her, the villagers didn't care, so they let her stay.

This stay lasted for three years. In order to solve the problem of hunger, Dodo went around stealing things from the villagers.However, in Dodo's eyes, she is just taking, not stealing.

Every time she took it, she explained it to Er Gouzi.Er Gouzi didn't listen, so she simply didn't explain.

For three years, Er Gouzi has been staring at Dodo.As a result, without paying attention, Duo Duo disappeared.When he found it again, he appointed him to steal food at Fan Jin's house.

This time, in order to entertain the prince, the villagers managed to scrape together a few chickens, but before serving them to the prince, Duoduo stole them all.

　I basically write at night, and set a scheduled release at 6:[-] in the morning after writing, and I haven't had time to modify it.Usually during the noon break, all typos and unintelligible sentences will be corrected, so it will be better to go to see it in the afternoon.
